Hey look at this, it's a situation where Facebook made someone's life better. I didn't know that was possible.

61-year-old Leslie Kahn from Epping, New Hampshire was swimming in her pool earlier this month when the ladder broke. She wasn't strong enough to pull herself out, no one was home, and her phone was inside the house.

But her iPad was on a chair by the pool. Leslie grabbed the pool cleaning pole and used it to drag the chair closer. She was able to grab her iPad and hopped on Facebook to post a message asking for help.

Two of her neighbors saw it and went to her house. They also called the police who pulled her out of the pool.
